Psalms 130

1 Yahweh, I have a lot of troubles/many difficulties, so I call out to you.

A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

2 Yahweh, hear me, while I call out to you [SYN] to be merciful to me!

Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

3 Yahweh, if you kept a record of the sins [that we have committed], not one [of us] [RHQ] would escape from being condemned [and punished]

If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

4 But you forgive us, with the result that we greatly revere you.

But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

5 Yahweh has said [that he would help/rescue me]; I trust what he said, and I wait eagerly for him to do that.

I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

6 I wait for Yahweh [to help me] more than watchmen wait for the light to dawn; yes, I wait more eagerly than they do!

My soul [looketh] for the Lord, more than watchmen [look] for the morning; [yea, more than] watchmen for the morning.

7 You [my fellow] Israelis, confidently expect that Yahweh [will bless us]. [He will bless us] because he faithfully loves [us], and he is very willing to save/rescue [us].

O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

8 And he will save us Israeli [people] from [being punished for] all the sins that [we] have committed.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
